1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

The interaction of posaconazole and amphotericin B was evaluated in concomitant treatment of Candida albicans systemic infections in immunocompetent mice by using four strains of C. albicans with different susceptibilities to fluconazole. Posaconazole and amphotericin B were each tested at four dose levels alone and in all possible combinations against each C. albicans strain. Survival curves of mice treated with combinations of posaconazole and amphotericin B were statistically compared with those of mice treated with the component monotherapies. Of the 64 total combinations evaluated against the C. albicans strains (16 combinations per strain), 20.3% were more effective in prolonging mouse survival than both of the monotherapies, 45.3% were more effective than one of the monotherapies, and 32.8% were similar to both monotherapies. No evidence of antagonism was observed between posaconazole and amphotericin B in this mouse model, consistent with in vitro results against the same strains.
